sadly, we lost Richard Wright in 2008. R.I.P
Every song from Pulse concert is epic.
Nope, absolutely the greatest band ever! Without a doubt!
The young bass player is Guy Pratt. Two years after this tour, he married Gal Wright - Richard Wright's daughter. He still tours with Nick Mason and his band, "Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets", with whom they play early Pink Floyd music, mainly from 1967-1970. And if David Gilmour goes to any gig, Guy always goes with him as bassist.
The other great guitarist is Tim Renwick who, apart from Pink Floyd, has played with such greats as Elton John, Procol Harum, David Bowie, Mike Oldfield, Eric Clapton, David Byron. He has worked with Pink Floyd (or Gilmour) since 1984.
At this concert he had the honour of playing a guitar solo on Another Brick in the Wall - and famously...
One of the few guitarists that can do anything but doesn’t - there is just enough restraint in that solo so that it still serves the song rather than sounding like it’s shredding for the sake of it. To create a solo that long and keep it melodic and interesting is mind blowing! Love it
Perfect way to describe it!
David Gilmour truly is a great guitarist
Every guitar wants a David Gilmour for Christmas!!!
@@hudsonhollow Haha, very true! I catch my guitar watching Gilmour when it's alone
In a interview David he cannot shred he has a hard time with his fingers when he goes fast that is why he pulls heart strings when he plays
@@MoreMeetArthur😂 my guitar sometimes comes home smelling of another man’s aftershave
Rick Wright was the glue that held Floyd together musically.
Richard Wright was the sound of Pink Floyd! If you listen to anything pre Dark Side, his keys just provide so much texture and layers as they were working to find their voice and sound. Basically their catalogue up to and including the Animals album just illustrates how he could fill the aura and create that sound for which PF was famous.
Yeah, he was such a key contributor and never got the praise he deserved while he was alive. Which truly was a shame. The man was a legend, unfortunately overshadowed by Gilmour & Waters, and even Barrett’s mystique. Shine On wouldn’t be the opus that it was without his keys and so many more of their legendary compositions, such as Echoes, Time, Us & Them, Great Gig, etc., all with writing credits to Wright, just prove how great he was and what an influential musical artist he was. He painted the landscape on which the rest could stand. RIP Richard Wright! Never forgotten.
Ritchard did appear at Pompeii with David, it was the last time that they played 'Echoes ' ,David retired the song after Ricks death, I personally think that it's Ritchard playing the organ and keyboard in the background that creates the Pink Floyd sound.
Echoes is my favourite, it takes me on a beautiful journey ❤
It's not up for discussion. The second DG solo is the best solo that has ever been played, live or in a studio. DG takes your soul, puts it through his emotional wringer and hands it back to you forever changed.
beyond thunder dome as Tina Turner might say!
I believe it has officially been given the title of best live guitar solo of all time. I can't think of better.
@@carlakane3313 Only it's not. The solo here is a mix of different solos from the same tour picked out by Gilmore post tour.
The original is here, warts and all. ruclips.net/video/cK6d6o779ZU/видео.html
@@JosephHuntelvisnspiders Good to know!
@@carlakane3313 I believe that belongs to Eddie Van Halen playing Eruption live but hey, music like art is subjective.
EPIC!!!! And Mr. Gilmour is wearing a tshirt and not breaking a sweat.
Every song from the pulse concert is off the charts excellence. SORROW, KEEP TALKING, LEARNING TO FLY
My introduction to Pink Floyd was Piper at the Gates of Dawn in 1967 (or 68) in a friend’s basement with the greatest hash and the greatest band ever.
Sorrow from pulse concert is amazing! Also keep talking from pulse concert! On the turning away live 1987 or 1988 is amazing! Great Reaction!
Amazing how David always keeps his solo in the framework of the song so it never sounds out of place
Saw this show in 1994 in cleveland ohio. Still one of the greatest nights of my life!
Very jealous!
I was at the Detroit show where this set debuted. The crowd went absolutely crazy when DG said that was the first live performance of DSOTM in 20 years.
I was at this very show at Earls Court. Hard to believe it's coming up on 30yrs ago this autumn. You're right to be jealous.🧱🎸🌈🪩
The greatest band ever!!!
Strongly agree
Word up guy's never ever stop a david Gilmore guitar solo!! Been a fan for over 50 years now!! Music is not the same at all today!!
Time from this concert and On the Turning Away live in 1988 are a must
Guy Pratt is the bassist.
Thank you
@@MoreMeetArthur Guy Pratt Bassist on Madonnas Like A Prayer and Sophie Elliss Bextors Murder On The Dancefloor among others
@@MoreMeetArthur Guy Pratt of course replacing original member Roger Waters. Looks very young here, actually 32 (ok that's younger than the others, around 60). He married Richard Wright's daughter a couple of years after this (since divorced). You were shocked at 2.5k views after a week for One Of These Days. This has 7.2k after two days. I haven't seen you before, the mysterious algo recommended it. Prepare for liftoff. I've got a 40 minute video with 85k views, but it's taken a dozen years.
You say it's difficult to play slowly like they do and I'm sure it is but it was Chopin who said it's not just the music it's also the space between each note! They never try to keep up with themselves in other words they never get in a hurry and they play the song as fast as it needs to be played not extremely fast just to impress someone!
The name you're looking for is Guy Pratt and he actually ended up being Richard Wright the keyboardist's son-in-law!
If you want to see the cool lights coming down on David Gilmour do the final song in their three song encore "Run Like Hell" in this same concert!!
Richard Wright lays the bed everything else lays on
Beautiful analogy
Hi guys, please watch echoes live at Gdańsk. At the end you will see why David said that he would not play echoes live again with out Rick 😊
Live 8 is where Nick tore his headphones off. Aren’t we so lucky to be here at this point in time to witness the greatest band of all time 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Nick pulls the headphones off during the Live 8 performance, and talking about guitars here is another little factoid , straight from Guy Pratt's book ' My Bass and other Animals ' , when he went to the audition to replace Roger he was in the green room waiting for David and found a guitar so he picked it up and started noodling about on it, when David arrived Guy mentioned that he thought it looked like an older/ early Fender and David replied that he wouldn't find 1 any older so Guy checked the serial number and discovered that it was number 00001 .
And he is also one of the main writers of many songs
Nick Mason took his ear monitors out on the Live 8 performance of Comfortably Numb. The last time all 4 played together
I feel very lucky to have seen this live by David more than several times. 1980, Dave on top of The Wall ripping out. Unforgettable.
When the "moon rig" pivots down and focuses all the lights on David is like God saying, "Here's your halo."
Too true, I love that
As a PF fan since I saw them supporting Hendrix this was the best of all the gigs Ive ever attended. Working in London at the time lucky enough to attend 6 of the 13 nights; inc filming nights.
I saw the tour that led to this earls court run, i couldn't go to that one at the time, but saw AMLOR tour, got some BW film photos of the Gig. it was a truly profound experience, i also saw Genesis that same year doing Domino tour, both were incredible gigs and wembley stadium v1.0, i will never forget either of them. two of the best bands in the world live. PF lighting was the same but a flying Bed and the Boar's. that set of lighting was $1M back then to create, Both PF&Genesis have the most incredible light shows to go with the exceptional music.
The bassist in question, Guy Pratt, is a MAJOR studio player - among his credits, he worked with Michael Jackson (notice the incredible bass part on MJ’s epic “Earth Song”) and many more.
It’s certainly testimony to Pink Floyd’s cachet that a studio player of his caliber would ever put off his lucrative studio work and accept a concert tour commitment like this.
From the Pulse collection, please check out SORROW, and also RUN LIKE HELL.
Both of these are excellent!
Check out the whole Gdańsk concert of David Gilmour - last performance of Richard Wright Echoes very very special - `Guy Pratt on bass plus Phil Manzanera from Roxy Music on second lead and the cream of session musicians. David revisits a lot of the FLOYD catalogue and it’s stunning! If you listen to no other listen to THAT ECHOES - the last section guaranteed tears in the eyes. It is special to me because they previewed MEDDLE including ECHOES in Norwich and I introduced them onstage! Magical night
As already mentioned, Richards keys are the rock that supports the Pink Floyd sound.
The mood of the music comes from Richard first, often a Hammond or similar, and often added to by strings .......but that mellow Pink Floyd sound is Richard........
And he sings a lot more than we think.
He often sings opposite David in a call response but most of us think it is all David, as they often sound similar.
The only thing better than Pink Floyd is Pink Floyd live. I can't get through The Great Gig in the Sky from this concert without crying. I love them both, the studio version has that raw, wild quality, but the Pulse version has been polished and is magnificent. Man, it breaks my heart every time.
Great reaction gents!! I see Comfortably Numb - I click!! Seeing other people react to this masterpiece of a performance always takes me back to the first time I heard/seen it - and it's glorious!
IMHO this IS the greatest live solo - it gives me chills every time (and I've listened to this hundreds of times!) - the tears come with the preceding song - Wish You Were Here - for personal reasons.
You're thinking of Gilmour's Live In Gdansk where Rick Wright (RIP) was on stage with him! I HIGHLY recommend checking that version of Echoes for another mind blowing experience!
They are 'one' of the greatest - I hold Rush, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles & Queen in the same company...can't pick out of those 5 (Rush might top it for me...and if you haven't listened to them, you need to!)
Cheers from Canada!
The session guitarist was Tim Renwick. Fun fact. The other keyboard player is Jon Carin. The only one of their musicians who has ever and still does play with Roger Waters live.
Thank you for letting us know!
Richard was a major contributing composer to the Pink Floyd sound.
Absolutely, those beautiful synths
If you don’t shed a tear you aren’t worthy of calling yourself human.
Everyone refers to the outro featuring Gilmour's unparalleled performance as a "solo". Except it's not just him playing, the entire band is playing with him, supporting him in the background and every now and then rising up for emphasis, like the drums when the ball drops etc. It's more properly an "instrumental" performance. The fact that it's not just Gilmour by himself takes nothing away from his performance, it will forever live as one of the greatest moments in live music history.
At the time, that was the world's largest mirror ball.
What an accolade
I remember listening to this, on vinyl ,back in 1981. Moving the needle on the player, back to the beginning of the song, over and over, writing the lyrics down until I knew the entire song. ( No internet then to Google the lyrics). Great song!!
When they did this tour, i could not get tickets to any of the shows and wound up watching it live through Payperview, and was worth every penny.
Good job Gentlemen!! Love your reaction!!
Thank you!!
Like I’ve said before, David, like Jerry Garcia shows up in a black t shirt and jeans like he’s there to fix your sink but you can’t take your eyes off them and they proceed to melt your face with their guitars.
thanks guys that was emotional subbed and liked.....
Yes, Rick Wright was absolutely brilliant. He’s greatly missed.
Another live solo that could give this one a run for the money is Eddie Van Halen’s Eruption solo in New Haven 1986.
The bass player is Guy Pratt and he married Richard Wright's daughter in 1996 (they later divorced... I don't know if that was prior to or after Wright's death).
If you really want to appreciate Rick Wright, then I suggest reacting to "Echoes" from DGs Live in Gdansk 🔥
The acoustic guitar that sounds high like a 12 string is what is in what’s known as Nashville tuning. He strung a 6 string guitar up with the octave and double strings from a 12 string. If you double track that with a standard tuning you get more control of the highs…
I saw them three times ❤ and best concert ever. And funny thing true story my husband was sitting 2 rows behind me of course at the time we didn’t know each other that’s crazy Pink Floyd is the best
Yes, It is the greatest guitar solo ever.
Guy Pratt. Also plays with Gilmore on solo projects.
Your Dad was at the concert fortunately i went for 5 out of the 14 nights as this was in the days before ticket master where you rang the venue or picked up tickets at a local record store.i also have tickets for Dave Gilmore in October at the Albert Hall.
Queen is right up there at the top in the running of greatest bands. Not a weak link in that band either.
They're all superstars
Guitars want David Gilmour for Christmas. Once again, so grateful for having seen Pink Floyd in concert twice. A feast for the ears and eyes!
Listen to the one from 2016. Best solo
Guy Pratt is the bass player’s name.
There is another one with Floyd maybe longer on the Song "The Turning Away" Live in Italy
I'm going to see Nick Mason in a few weeks. So cool with him playing more early Floyd. Guy Pratt is in his band too. I'm also going to David Gilmour 4 times later this year. Probably his final outing, who knows. There are still some tickets for Rome and LA I think for those interested. It'll be light on 70's Floyd tunes, but not on Gilmour solo's. And CN will certainly be played. Can't wait!
Nick Mason pulls his earpieces out at the Live8 gig. The bassist is Guy Pratt.
Thank you 🙌
The disco ball was added to all their live performances when a label executive told them that they would never be signed until they ditched their chosen style and played dance music.
A great live guitar solo, but their are others ... ..try Terry Kaffs 25 or 6 to 4 solo from 1970 at Tanglewood.
That's hilarious, I love that
@@MoreMeetArthur
It is a funny legend of music, and shows the authenticity of the musicians.
I was serious about the Terry Kath guitar solo though.......Terry was one of the many guitarists good enough live to blow Hendrix's mind......once experienced, Hendrix would never miss a Chicago performance.
Chicago......25 or 6 to 4, live at Tanglewood 1970.
Play through a quality valve amp and serious floor standing speakers or monitors with plenty of volume.
At least 30% of all music is heard through the body and felt through the feet, gut, skull etc......the ears only give less than 70% of what you want to hear.
If my memory serves me correctly, Guy Pratt is the son-in-law of Nick Mason !
Excellent reaction,thank you.Check out Great Gig...from this same show.
Hell yeah
Please keep reacting to Pink Floyd, and your channel will grow even more. I would suggest Dogs of War, live, from the album, Delicate Sound of Thunder. Well done guys.
We've got a dark side of the moon reaction coming
@@MoreMeetArthur That will make you guys fall in love with Pink Floyd... Listening Pink Floyd since i was 8, i am now 50.
I would love to see you react to the Beegees Too Much Heaven. Their voices are heaven on earth.
Btw , that glitter disco ball is 6 meters in diameter 👍
Inside that disco ball was a small diamond made of pink glass. A tribute to their Crazy Diamond Syd.

I think all tickets sold.

The guy on the keyboard looks like Doctor who
Which doctor?
@@MoreMeetArthur the 12th doctor , the actor is Peter Cepaldi 👩🏻🎤and I think it is Richard Wright on 🎹?!?
If you think 50BPM is slow, then you ought to check out French band Monarch - 50BPM would be very fast for them as many of their tracks are around 20 to 30 BPM (and last for in excess of 15 minutes.)
This is universally regarded as one of the top solos, including by me. You should listen to Hendrix " Machine Gun" live. Faces will melt.
A classic, will see if we can do it!
David is one of those guitarists that know the notes you DON'T play are as important as the notes you do play....paraphrasing from Eric Clapton!
The 11th Commandment...Thalt shall not ever interrupt David Gilmours guitar solo
Great reaction lads! Not sure which other tracks you have covered from this set, but Shine on You crazy Diamond, High Hopes, Sorrow, Keep Talking, Coming Back to Life, Wish You Were Here, Money, Time, The Great Gig In The Sky, Us and Them, and Run Like Hell should get you started.....Enjoy!
May as well do the whole set! 😂
@@MoreMeetArthur Don't let me stop you.....
Guy Pratt on bass.
Guy pratt!!.
It took 53 articulated trucks 2 x 747s and an Antonov heavy lift aircraft. To transport the 3 x 70 tonne stage sets around the world leapfrogging from town to town one being set up, one in use one being taken down.
GUY PRATT: there's an Aussie show Spicks & Specs where he talks about the "💣" on his bass @ gig & trying to smash a through neck carbon graphite guitar Who style - it's a bloody pisser.
Please look at "Keep talking" from this gig Gilmore & 🎸 become one, seriously, Gillmore ang guitar morph into one instrument.
Excellent reaction 👏👏👏
Also consider reacting to:
Pink Floyd *High Hopes* also from PULSE
Pink Floyd *On The Turning Away* from Delicate Sound of Thunder LIVE
And a left field entry for you;
Faithless *God Is A DJ* LIVE at Alexandra Palace
👍
You broke the Golden Rule: Never pause a David Gilmore solo!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Best band ever. Now my second favorite is Tool. React to those guys. They’re the updated Pink Floyd (in my mind)
You mentioned sam brown. You must check out "the great gig in the sky" from the same gig.
The 3 backing vocalists share the limelight. Sam really rips it.
Personally my favourite band ever. The greatest is the beatles.
Greatest rock bands 1. The beatles 2. Pink floyd 3. Led zeppelin 4. Strolling Bones from here on its really hard to pick.
Sabbath, doors, metallica, queen,rush, iron maiden, judas priest,ac/dc, jimi hendrix experience,cream, aerosmith,deep purple, the eagles, the kinks, radiohead, tool, king crimson,genesis,yes,ccr ,bee gees,the who,u2 , jethro tull etc etc all have a strong argument for top 10
React...OnThe Turning Away live 1988...Epic guitar solo too!!!
the bass player is non other than Richard Wright's son in law Guy Pratt
It's not Pink Floyd without Waters in my view.
There should have a law to send in jail someone who clic on pause in the middle of this emotional solo just to say "wtf pink floyd!".
Anyway, thx for the react
Guy Pratt has been there since Roger Waters left maybe late 80s? He is Richard Wright’s son in law
A great solo is one you can whistle...
You never, ever, pause a David Gilmour solo . Unadulterated Sacrilege 😉😊 BTW, the 2nd solo is regarded as the greatest solo of all time 😊
We actually heard church bells and people with pitchforks when we pressed that pause button!! Won’t happen again 😅
@@MoreMeetArthur 🤣
It is an unbelievable solo no doubt but it is all subjective. I do love it. There is a solo by Lynyrd Skynrd (several actually) 1976 at Knebworth. They blew The Stones off the stage. Jagger refused to come on for 2 hours after LS opened for them. Different music I know but the guitar(s) solo(s) are off the chart.
Hey my two adorable guys much ❤ Couldn't agree more , 1st Listened to Dark Side of tha' Moon @ 13 yrs old after coming home from @ Lsd-trip @t Virginia Waters @ completely ""Out-Of-Body"" Experience Like I was on tha' Moon! Every single track/song is pure raw Bliss. Would ❤ to see u react to Elton john rocketman LIVE VERSION @t Royal Festival Hall 1972 to witness pure-raw-talent Oooozing frm his being @ also luv tha' Mannerisms Alluding frm @ Young Elton! Much looking fwrd to yr up coming reactions. All positivity sent to U Bth by-way-of tha' cosmos Xxx.
NEVER EVER pause a Davis Gilmour solo - especially THIS one!! Bad move in doing so.
Reaction to Echoes would be good lads.
Living the channel guys. You should react to Oasis. Headshrinker live by the sea is an epic performance on all levels
